About Hell on the Border
Having escaped from slavery after the Civil War, Bass Reeves arrives in Arkansas seeking a job with the law. To prove himself, he must hunt down a deadly outlaw (Frank Grillo) with the help of a grizzled journeyman (Ron Perlman). As he chases the criminal deeper into the Cherokee Nation, Reeves must not only dodge bullets, but severe discrimination in hopes of earning his star – and cement his place as a cowboy legend. After being entrusted by Judge Issac C. Parker as a badge-wearing U.S. Marshal, Bass Reeves worked mostly in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and later worked as a police officer in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He was credited with arresting more than 3,000 felons. He shot and killed 14 outlaws in self-defense.
